North Korea has warned the United States not to take provocative action in the region, saying it is "ready to hit back with nuclear attacks".

After inspecting an honor guard, Kim, in a black suit, watched the parade pour into Kim Il-Sung Square, accompanied by top military and party leaders, state television showed in a live broadcast.

North Korea conducted two such tests previous year alone, which analysts say would have taken the country a step forward in gaining the knowledge to make nuclear weapons small enough to fit on long-range missiles.

Several KN-08 missiles were rolled out on trucks at the parade.

But Choe Ryong Hae, reportedly the second-most powerful official in the country, said in a speech that Pyongyang is prepared for any threat posed by the United States.

The launch came less than a day after a massive military parade in the North Korean capital that was widely viewed in world capitals as a show of force by the government of Kim Jong Un.

In an editorial published Saturday after the parade, China's official news agency, Xinhua, said the region was at "a critical moment in history" and a pre-emptive USA strike could trigger full-scale war. The North also past year launched a long-range rocket that put a satellite into orbit, which Washington, Seoul and others saw as a banned test of missile technology.

US Pacific Command detected and tracked what it assessed to be a North Korean ballistic missile launch at 11.21am Hawaii time on Saturday (Sunday NZT), said US Navy Commander Dave Benham, a spokesman for US Pacific Command.

President Donald Trump was uncharacteristically quiet about the failed launch of a North Korean missile from the country's east coast.

A North Korean foreign minister vowed the isolationist country "will go to war" if the USA provokes it, as the world watched to see if dictator Kim Jong Un will launch another provocative nuclear test today to commemorate his grandfather's birthday.

North Korea is working to develop a nuclear missile that can strike the United States.

The display included submarine-launched ballistic missiles, believed to be the same type of missile North Korea fired from land in February.

"All the brigandish provocative moves of the USA in the political, economic and military fields pursuant to its hostile policy toward the DPRK will thoroughly be foiled through the toughest counteraction of the army and people of the DPRK", the KCNA state news agency said, citing a spokesman for the General Staff of the Korean People's Army.
